Composed of material derived from a fermentation process, Poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (P4HB), Phasix™ Mesh provides critical strength during the initial healing phase.
Phasix™ Mesh provides a fully resorbable monofilament scaffold for rapid tissue incorporation that has been designed to allow for the repair strength of a synthetic mesh along with the remodeling characteristics of a biologic graft.1
THE NEXT PHASE IN HERNIA REPAIR
Repairs1
The open monofilament mesh scaffold provides early integration and repair strength*
Remodels1
Preclinical testing confirms vascular integration and incorporation, with abundant mature collagen at 52 weeks. Gradually transfers load to native tissue over time*
Restores1
As Phasix™ Mesh is remodeled, it is replaced with functional tissue, ultimately resulting in a strong repair at one year*
WHAT IS PHASIX™ MESH?
Phasix™ Mesh is a knitted monofilament mesh scaffold using Poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (P4HB), a biologically derived, fully resorbable material.
MATERIAL STRUCTURE1
Material structure can impact host response.5
Consider these features of monofilament versus multifilament structures:
TISSUE INCORPORATION1
Study objective: Evaluate material strength and histopathology of Phasix™ Mesh.
Study design: A 3-centimeter round defect was created in the ventral abdominal wall of 25 Yucatan mini-pigs (average weight 38 kg). Phasix™ Mesh was fixated directly over the defect with SorbaFix™ resorbable tacks. Ball burst testing and histopathology were conducted at 6, 12, 26, and 52 weeks.
Results: Early tissue ingrowth, vascular integration, and incorporation of Phasix™ Mesh into the ventral abdominal wall, plus abundant mature collagen formed around the remaining fibers at 52 weeks.
